Coco Gauff, a rising tennis player, has acknowledged that she is now trying to focus more on winning the match rather than enjoying each point.
On the court, the 19-year-old has always been energetic, celebrating every success. Gauff was recently quoted in an interview where she acknowledged that she is currently attempting to let go of such times in order to produce significant achievements.
Gauff expressed her remarks during a conversation: “I guess in my past matches I was a little bit more animated. I just didn’t feel like the moment,” she said. “I’m not out here trying to fake things too. I just didn’t feel like I had to celebrate points off of unforced errors between one of us. So it wasn’t like I was hitting winners a lot today. She’s a tough person to try to get winners off of.”
After defeating Greece’s Maria Sakkari in the Citi DC Open final by a score of 6-2, 6-3, Gauff is overjoyed to have won the tournament’s title.
